I know a lot of people listen to their music whilst they are in realm playing. What I am interested in finding out is if I started up an internet radio station for Lusternia, would people listen, would people be willing to DJ? I have a reasonable bandwidth server as it stands, but if it turns into insane demand, I have access to some more powerful Shoutcast servers. So let me know what you all think.

Sounds neat, but what music will you play?

EDIT: Here's the recent URL for quick reference:

I'd so listen in.

Yeah, just the fact that it would be a "Lusternian" station would make it intriguing.

Agreed, it would be intriguing. But what would make it Lusternian? What music would be played? What would make it different the other internet radio stations?

I'll tell you why people would listen in....

DJ Aris in the Afternoon, baby.

100% good idea

Heheh. We can have theme music for events!

Live Without It by Killing Heidi, for influencing season!
For Annabelle: All the Things She Said, by tatu!
For Visaeris: Everybody's Fool, by Evanescence!

*snicker* Loving it.

Music would vary by DJ, and I am sure most would be more than happy to accept requests, and you can theme radio stations just by jingles in theory, but I was thinking that the station could fund competitions, FFAs and suchlike, to provide the people who are bored at the time with things to do, and it would be a way to keep people up to date on public news in the game whilst they arent able to get in realm. There are lots of thigns that could be done, and I am open to ideas, I just thought it would be a nice community to build up.

The main thing that would shape it, is what you guys would like it to be about.

EDIT: Obviously the in game interecations would be done in an in game capacity, but since the history already gives us the existence of thigns like aether broadcasts, we could create a clan to organise the IC presence. Or somethign along those lines.

Calling Annabelle a.. thats a good one

I do like the idea.. I just know what my local station is like and thats scary..

I'm liking this.

"And now, a special request for Magnargora's own Daevos, from one of your loyal citizens..."It's Us against the World". Comin' to you live on Lusternia 780."

I've never listened to Internet Radio before, what kind of bandwidth and downloads does it take up? I'm on 512k so I don't think I should have too much trouble, I'm just worried about my precious download limit *soothe downloads*

I'd totally listen to it, I'd even DJ on it. How exactly would the DJing work anyway? I imagine we'd need some special software to broadcast to your server.

Would it work on 52k ?

I'd DJ for you in a heartbeat, but I have dial up here.

Must go out and buy all final fantasy soundtracks, they're the best music for this kind of thing.

How much for a T-shirt, Richter?

You know, if we got enough people, I could sell them through that one internet place that does 'em, like Aetolia had.

Nevermind, shirts in progress, you'll actually be able to buy them. Give me till tonight, I'll be able to sell you some funny Lusternia shirts (that don't infringe on any legal things).

"Ban Shiri"

"Carthans make the best kissers"

"Bee liek valek"

More to come, really

Make one about meeee!

Nooo, I need my forum fix!

"Kill Etanru's Scary Avatars!"

or it could be on air live with Dan the Man!

and for all you village mobs out there, we know how you feel, so... its "Break Free" by Queen! woot!

Then, after that, its "Won't Get Fooled Again" for all you Serenwilders out there! After all, how many times will we trust a city again? NONE!

And of course followed by, "I saw the sign" by Ace of Base for you wonderful New Celesters! And the sign said to help the Serenwilde, and kill Magnagora!

Last but not least, its, "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones for all you c-r-a-z-y Magnagorans out there! Because we know that you are just getting started!

... go Serenwilde!
